Steps:

- Pour/spread pecan mixture over partially baked dough.
- Bake for another 20-22 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 1 hour, then cut into bars.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8-inch square pans. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Don't overbake the bars. They should be set in the center, but still have a little bit of a gooey center.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
